“Oh my God Alexos…they are so rare…and you have a whole family!”
Hearing the low rumble of laughter she had finally pulled her eyes from the scene below to look questioningly at him, flushing seeing the way he was staring at her.
“I do not get you Miss Leotta” His words filling her with both confusion and a strange growing awareness of his closeness. Giving a small shrug she had tried to make light.
“What is there to get? I like animals” her breezy answer seeing as thoughtfully he had shaken his head giving another laugh.
“No…I’m sure the girls at the villa love animals…especially soft fluffy ones” Grace having to hold back the peal of laughter that rose to her lips as her mouth had quirked.
“No…you don’t mind my driving, you don’t mind getting your hair wet….you don’t shop and you don’t swim away from a shark. Now add to that you can recognise a specific breed of seal from afar…what are you not telling me?”
Dropping her head she had looked back at the animals, so relaxed as they basked in the morning sunshine.
“Perhaps you have just never asked the right question Mr Manetas” her soft clever words seeing him grin “Perhaps you are right”
As he had moved closer to her Grace had bitten her lip not sure why he was causing small flutters to fill her stomach, the sound of her beating heart filling her ears. Making to turn back to the car, he had stepped even closer, his hands moving to hold her shoulders. Looking up into his face, her surprise had been so evident, along with the discomfort of his hands on her.
“I…we should…my mother” she had stuttered softly, words failing her as his head had bent towards her. Trying to move, he had held her tighter, his fingers sliding around to her back holding her harder against himself, Grace feeling as she had shivered against him just as his mouth had met hers. The kiss was soft, gentle. She froze in his hold, shock filling her. As the tip of his tongue had run against the softness of her lip she had once more felt the shudder race through her, her mouth parting to allow his to take possession, the kiss deepening as with a will of their own her hands had slid up his chest and around his neck, pulling him harder to her.
As his tongue had plundered the softness of her mouth, she had groaned, her whole body on fire with sensations so foreign to her. Alexos had pulled her body even harder against the hardness of his own, Grace feeling the unmistakable arousal against her, not aware as she had sighed softly.
“Bella Cara” he had whispered against her mouth, Grace unable to believe that a man like Alexos Manetas could desire her. As his hands had moved to cup her bottom, the flash of molten need had pooled somewhere deep within her, the intensity both thrilling and terrifying as with a gasp she had pushed away, her shaking hand rising to her mouth as she had stared with incredulity at him.
“W…what are you doing?”
Her voice tremulous as she had stared at him with shock and disbelief on her beautiful flushed face, lips so red from his kiss.
Alexos had wanted to pull her back into his arms, swallowing down the desire that held him as he had taken in her eyes, now the green flecks so visible with the passion that had erupted so brightly and so briefly between them. Pulling himself taller he had moved a step back from her too, a smile lighting his handsome features as he had drawled softly.
“Kissing you…would you like me to show you again?” Grace shaking her head violently as her whole body had grown rigid, her hands balled by her side.#p#分页标题#e#
“No…no…you had no right”
His eyes laughing down at her “Has no man kissed you before little one?” the rush of colour on her face answering his question as she had dropped those wonderful eyes from him, so embarrassed as he had given a disbelieving groan. “Oh my God, I speak the truth don’t I?”
Grace raising her head to glare back at him, not liking the mocking tone in his voice, especially not liking the way her whole being buzzed for him to pull her back into his hold and kiss her again. This man was a serial womaniser, definitely not the kind of person she wanted to become involved with. Turning she had moved quickly back to the car.
“My mother will be waiting for me” she had bitten out sensing his shock. As she had reached the car, his hand had stopped her, turning her around to face him, a strange expression on his face.
“I am sorry Grace. I didn’t realise” With eyes full of shame she had nodded her head, “its fine. Please just…forget it” her voice trailing off as he had hooked her chin raising her head to look up at him. With a soft sigh he had smiled gently down at her.
